1970 Buick Gransport Gsx Re-creation on 2040-cars

1970 Buick GranSport GSX Re-creation This Buick up for auction is a real GranSport that was made into a GSX recreation. It has an original steel framed GranSport Ram-Air induction hood, and has the cool GSX spoiler. These 60's and 70's muscle cars have incredible investment potential, and have been referred to as rolling bank accounts. This GSX look-a-like is powered by a Big Block Buick 455, but is not believed to be numbers matching. Although being an Olds guy, I never learned how to check the numbers on any Buick's. The quadrajet does have the awesome dual snorkeled ram-air cleaner with new foam seals. There is a brand new exhaust system with new chrome tips welded on each side of the rear pipes. This Buick has dual sport mirrors painted to match the body color. It also has the Buick sport steering wheel. The black bucket seats are in very good condition, so they should be nice and comfortable for many years to come. The entire interior looks really pretty sweet as seen in the pictures. The black carpeting is brand new with the extra sound deadening padding, including a brand new set of four black carpeted deluxe floor mats. The console is the infamous horseshoe shifter, and the headliner was replaced. The headliner needs to be stretched a bit still, so I'm going to try and have that finished by the end of the auction. There is a new dash pad as well with a new GSX emblem above the glove box. All the gaskets around the doors were replaced after the car was painted, including the window seal gaskets, and the trunk gasket. The one year only 1970 GS grille is brand new from The Parts Place with the new three piece chrome trim that surrounds the grille, and a brand new GSX grille emblem. There is a brand new pair of Cooper Cobra P235/60R15 inch raised white lettered tires on the front, and P245/60R15 on the rear mounted on 15 inch Buick chrome sport wheels. All four wheels have the proper center caps for 1970. There is a 10 bolt rear-end, but I am unsure of the gear ratio. There is a pair of air shocks on the rear suspension that seem to be holding air nicely. In my opinion I have not seen an undercarriage this clean on a 44 year old muscle car. This Buick has its original floors that look like about a 10 year old car. The frame appears the same way, and the original trunk floor is in very good condition, and was coated with black and aqua spatter spray to make it appear factory correct. Inside the trunk is a new trunk mat, and a nicely detailed original jack, and crow bar with a full size Cooper Cobra spare on a Buick sport wheel. This way if there is ever a mishap you can be back on the road in minutes looking complete. There is a full set of wheel opening moldings, and the correct GranSport stainless steel lower rocker cover moldings on both sides. The front and the rear bumpers are both brand new with triple plated chrome, and both rear tail lights are brand new. The power steering belt is not on the car, because I think it has the wrong bracket. That minor issue will be left up to the new owner. What you see is exactly what you get! These mostly complete older classics that have survived for over 40 years are becoming harder and harder to find, especially in this color combination. The Nada Classic Car Price Guide currently has the 1970 Buick GranSport listed at $50,255 in high condition, $19,780 in average condition, and $10,637 in low condition. I personally believe this silver and black beauty is in much better than average condition. I received this car in a trade, and I'm not looking to break the bank on this sale deeming the fact that it is being sold at no reserve. I simply need the funds from this sale to clear up some pertinent bills right away. It is imperative that the winner has the funds to follow through with their lucky winning bid according to the auction guidelines. I tried to place all of the factory decals in the proper places to make this cool classic look the way it would have rolled out of the factory onto the showroom floor. A great deal of time, money, and effort went into the recreation of this GSX. Whatever this classic sells for in this no reserve auction is a win/win investment. This Buick is an investment that I believe will continue to rise as these cars have shown to consistently escalate in value. These GM A-Body muscle cars are the finest handling cars I have ever driven. This car is for the guy or girl that always wanted one back in high school, or may just want to show off at their high school reunion to prove how cool they still are. Here is a prime opportunity to acquire your dream car at a nominal price. I try to list everything I can think of when I write a description. If you feel I may have left anything out please ask as many questions as you like. I pride myself in answering every question in explicit detail with the utmost honesty. This car is being offered at "No Reserve" on a 3-day listing. It will sell to the highest bidder on Sunday evening at 5:00pm Pacific time, 7:00pm Central time, or 8:00pm Eastern time depending on your location. Thank you for taking the time to view my auction. Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Wagons make a bit of a comeback, with new models, sales on the rise
Thu, Jan 10 2019Consider this an official invitation to hop on the wagon bandwagon. There's still tons of room because, well, it's a wagon (and market share is still extremely small). But according to new data, the segment is growing. According to a report from Bloomberg, using data from Edmunds.com, roughly 211,600 Americans purchased wagons in 2018. That is technically down from the 237,600 sold in 2017, but wagon sales in the U.S. are up 29 percent from where they were five years ago. It's also the third year in a row that wagon sales broke the 200,000 mark. The sales trends have been somewhat representative of the availability of wagons. New models have debuted during the past 5 years and therefore offer more opportunity at more brands to buy wagons. In addition to more modest cars such as the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen, several luxury and performance brands are offering wagons today, such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Jaguar, Volvo and Buick. (Bloomberg's headlines make the point that "crossovers are for the Kardashians," and wagons are just, well, classier.) This uptick in brand-name availability, as well as extremely well-executed design on most of the wagons currently available, has helped increase the segment's desirability. That, and its ability to better accomplish the same tasks at hand while standing out from the crossover and SUV crowd. Still, the posted numbers represent a small fraction of the total vehicles sold. According to the data, wagons only held a 1.4 percent market share in 2017, the segment's best recent year. Wagons hold a steadfast place in America's past, and they're writing an interesting new story. With the downturn in traditional cars, they may continue to create an unexpected narrative.

Best and Worst GM Cars
Thu, Apr 7 2022Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded. While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.
2018 Buick Enclave launches luxury Avenir trim
Wed, Apr 12 2017Remember the shapely Buick Avenir Concept from the 2015 Detroit Auto Show? Well, this isn't that, even if they both share the same name. Meet the Buick Enclave Avenir, a new trim built atop Buick's redesigned 2018 Enclave seven-passenger crossover. Think of it as Buick's version of GMC's Denali trim and you'll be on the right track. As the brand's new top trim level, everything that's normally optional in the Enclave comes standard in the Avenir, along with a bunch of exclusive content. And this is just the first application of the Avenir package for Buick – expect the rest of the TriShield brand's products to get a similar makeover in due time. All Avenir models from Buick will get what the brand is calling a three-dimensional mesh grille with a new set of chrome wings. From there, the Enclave edition bundles unique pearl nickel 20-inch wheels, a Rear Camera Mirror like the one seen from Cadillac, and a new kind of LED headlamps that use something called Evonik Acrylite lighting technology. An in-car air ionizer promises to keep the cabin smelling fresh. The rest of the Enclave package sounds pretty good, too. It's got a standard 3.6-liter V6 engine with 302 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional. A tow rating of 5,000 pounds is standard fare for this class, as are seven seats inside. A frameless eight-inch LCD screen and integrated 4G wireless connectivity are other family-friendly highlights. We expect more Avenir-branded models to make their appearance in the Buick showroom soon. In the meantime, check out the Enclave Avenir in the image gallery above, and stay tuned for more from New York. Related Video:
